The SIMPLE lithium battery installation

There are SO many options when it comes to installing a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery on a boat or yacht. There's a lot of conflicting information as well, some people may try to talk you into complicated systems that you don't actually NEED! We're here to help sort through the noise, and give you the fundamentals for your boat's lithium battery setup! What's required to meet the ABYC standards is actually much less complicated than what's available out there. Need help designing something specifically for your boat?
